The Kathryn Suggs Chance Leonard Scholarship

For students seeking a master's or doctoral degree in Nursing.

Kathryn Suggs Chance Leonard was the youngest person to serve as president of the Georgia Nurses Association. Diagnosed at age 16 with Lupus, Kathryn decided she had a lot of living to pack into the time allotted to her. And live she did. Kathryn used the news of her diagnosis to begin, what would be for her, the lifelong practice of converting life’s obstacles and barriers into a wide range of opportunities.

Always a forward thinker, Kathryn worked in a variety of nursing settings. She obtained her doctorate in nursing, married and had a daughter, and completed her professional career as director of graduate programs at Georgia State University School of Nursing. Kathryn consistently advocated for the advancement of nurses and nursing. Through her roles as teacher, advocate, leader, and colleague, she had a profound and lasting impact on the nursing profession as a whole. Dr. Chance Leonard was in every sense of the word, a truly remarkable woman.

The Kathryn Suggs Chance Leonard Scholarship will be awarded to a student seeking a master’s or doctoral degree in Nursing. Successful candidates will demonstrate the same integrity, courage, and vision that Dr. Chance Leonard exhibited in overcoming life’s obstacles and barriers.
